This is one movie which I kept watching because every time I watch it I get to see something different every time. I rented this movie from my local dvd store the store owner told me it is a movie I got to see, so I watched it last night …
Man of Steel (movie)
One of the movies that I wanted to watch for a long time was “Man of Steel” even before the trailer was released and I heard that a new superman movie was going to be made. While I wasn’t completely familiar with the person who directed it, I do …
The Titfield Thunderbolt - Film 1952
I have voted this very watchable 1950’s Ealing Studios film my favourite film of all time. I have watched this film time and time again since well before video was ever even thought of and in those days you had to wait for things to be repeated on …
Terminator Salvation movie
I am a great fan of the Terminator series, and I had been waiting for this film to release from a long time. Last night I went to theater to watch this movie.
Overall it is an enjoyable movie. The story is weak but there are other redeeming factors in …
Voyage of the Yes movie
Voyage of the Yes was something of a coming of age or discovering oneself type of movie. Airing on TV in 1973, the movie is about two young men who travel from California to Hawaii by sailboat.

Superman the Third
Certain elements seem to indicate when a movie franchise has lost its steam and either needs to be retired, or re-evaluated. Unfortunately, with the Superman movie franchise, these elements were ignored until it was too late. Superman III clearly marked these elements. The stars were tired, their performances forced …
The Monster Squad, comedy horror film by Fred Dekker
When I was a little kid, playing with my wrestling action figures with my brother, I would always wonder if there really were monsters. Normal children at this age most likely didn’t think about this but I did. Some times when I would do this my brother would pin …
Twilight the first movie
Twilight was such a great movie with so many different scenes that I loved with so many hot guys and characters that blew my mind away and captured my heart. I love how the plot revolves around a group of vampires with one the vampires falling in love with a …
Movie Lili
One of the truly beautiful and often overlooked classics of the 1950’s, MGM’s Lili is not only a great family film but one that speaks to the romantic in all of us.
Set in France, it features the growth of an innocent orphaned waif named Lili (played perfectly …
Fracture
Fracture a movie starring Anthony Hopkins is a great thriller , murder drama movie. The movie starts right off the bat with great action. Throughout the movie Anthony Hopkins is said to be the killer but no one can find the murder weapon, when all in all …
Bucket List
I work in a hospital so more or less I am inclined to the joys and sadness of the hospital life. When I bought a DVD for Bucket List I wasn’t able to watch it right there and then but my brother who was able to see it said …
Film Avatar
The new movie Avatar has been reviewed so many times, with opinions ranging from “masterpiece” to “unoriginal” and “nothing special.” Well, here is my take on it, after watching it in IMAX. The plot may not be very original. My husband said that Avatar reminded him of “Dances with …
As young as you feel movie
We had some free time last night so my wife and I decided to watch one of the Marilyn Monroe movies we had on our Netflix Player; As Young As You Feel.
I don’t know if I would really classify this as a Marilyn Monroe movie (she only had a …
Valley of the Wolves, Iraq
This Valley of the Wolves, Iraq is a movie of a different perspective. It is a foreign film, and has artistic elements to it. My friend brought me to watch this, and it lasts for about 2 hours and 2 minutes.
This movie is not about taking sides, …
Nora
I watched this film last night, never even having heard of it before. It was made in 1999 and stars a very young looking Ewen McGregor and Susan Lynch. The film tells the story of the stormy relationship between the Irish writer James Joyce and his wife Nora, who …
The Phantom of the Opera 2004 Movie
I just got done watching “The Phantom of the Opera” movie directed by Joel Schumacher and produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It stars Gerard Butler as The Phantom, Emmy Rossum as Christine Daaé and Patrick Wilson as Raoul the Vicomte de Chagny, Christine’s love interest and childhood sweetheart.
Christine …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I picked up the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a movie that I figured would be halfway entertaining but would lack when compared to other X-Men films. It turns out it was one of the better movies I’ve seen.
Hugh Jackman is great as Wolverine, a mutant with the ability …
Happy Feet
Happy Feet (2007) This movie was a charmer! I loved it as much as my grandkids. It is a happy, feel good movie. It makes you want to get up and start dancing. This is one of the best children’s movies I have seen. I could …
Just Friends
Ah the classic, “I love you, just not like that,” or “We’re just friends” lines. Who hasn’t said, or heard, one of those? We’ve all been the victims of unrequited love. This movie takes this natural occurance to a new and hilarious level.
Ryan Reynolds, as usual, plays an absolutely …
Saving Sarah Caine movie
I saw previews of “Saving Sarah Cain” before watching another movie, and it looked like something I would not only want to watch but probably also add to my movie collection. I bought a DVD from Amazon shortly after that, and my husband and I watched the movie together.
“Saving …
Sunny movie
From 1941, Sunny was based on a stage play of the same name. It was, at moments, an interesting take on the times when performing for a circus meant being cheap and perhaps even vulgar.
At the helm of the motion picture was Anna Neagle as Sunny O’Sullivan who …
Closer (2004)
With an all star cast featuring the talents of Julia Roberts(Anna), Clive Owen(Larry), Jude Law(Dan) and Natalie Portman(Alice) as the main characters. This movie focuses on the relationships of these four individuals, the ups, the downs and everything in between.
Alice comes into contact with Dan at a crosswalk in …
You, Me, and Dupree
I just recently watched You, Me, and Dupree with Owen Wilson, Matt Dillon, and Katie Holmes. I must say I was very impressed. I am a huge fan of Owen Wilson to begin with. I must say though this was one of his finest performances. …
Tooth Fairy movie 2010
For its ideals and values, I give this film a B+ but as an entertainment source it has to be a C. Although it had some good moments, overall it didn’t impress me. The storyline was bland, typical, and cutesy. I’m sure kids love it for the …
The Movie Baby Mama
I have to say that I absolutely love the movie Baby Mama. It was hilarious! It practically had me and my friends tolling on the floor. These characters could actually make you believe that they are who they were pretending to be. There was not a dull moment. Almost …
Vacancy
Vacancy is one of those movies that probably shouldn’t work, but somehow it does. The story picks up with a couple driving home from a party thrown by the woman’s family. They haven’t yet told anyone that they’re getting a divorce because they can’t deal with the son they …
Gothika -movie
As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
The Book of Eli Movie
I watched the Book of Eli last night not knowing what the movie is all about. The movie was a post-apocalyptic one, I guess that’s explains the dreary, dusty and dark atmosphere it exudes. The movie has a lot of mixed reviews. Some thought it was an …
Waiting, movie
It might be a bit much for a more grown up audience, but “Waiting” does have its good moments and brings up the feelings that almost everyone goes through at one time or another when they don’t know where they’re going in life. Ryan Reynolds’s is charming, Dane Cook …
Lake Placid (1999)
Scientists come to a small town to do research when a strange tooth came into their possession. With the help of the local law enforcement officers and town folk, they manage to locate where exactly the nature of the strange tooth originated and what they found is big very …
In a lonely place movie
Nicholas Ray showed his incredible craft and vision with this Humphrey Bogart-film of the early 1950s. Ray worked in many different genres and did an excellent job almost every time, but perhaps he is most famous for his cult rated Rebel without a cause with James Dean. In a …
Hell Comes to Frogtown
So I just saw this little gem for the first time. For those not in the know, Hell Comes to Frogtown is a 1987 post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick starring none other than Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Piper plays the titular character, Sam Hell. He’s one of the last potent men …
Erin Brockovich Movie
Erin Brockovich is a movie which mainly depicts the secret of women power and how to utilize that to win over the struggle against the general issues of single motherhood in our male dominated society. Julia Roberts as “Erin Brockovich” was simply superb and mind blowing.
Erin Brockovich, a …
Runaway Bride (1999)
Runaway Bride, another movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts (because who can forget Pretty Woman), features a cast full of recognizable tv actors and actresses. In fact, one of the actors with a small role as a friend of Ike’s is also in Pretty Woman. (I like him, …
Case of the Shoeless Engineer
I am reviewing The Case of the Shoeless Engineer, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …

It is a story of a Father-son relationship, a funny fish story for children.
Nemo is a nice clown fish who has little fin on the other side of him. His father, Marlin, his wife died because it was eaten by a big fish. Marlin don’t want that to happen …
Going The Distance Movie (2010)
I first thought this was just an ordinary feel-good movie, it features Drew Barrymore and her real-life boyfriend “The Jeepers Creepers Guy” Justin Long; it’s a story about two people meeting and falling in love but Drew here is just actually on a temporary “vacation” as she’s an intern …
Tooth & Nail, horror film by Mark Young
How can a cliché post-apocalyptic movie even be considered a horror movie? Did the After Dark Horror Fest standards changed when the second batch of movies were released? Tooth & Nail is by no means a real horror movie, not even familiar faces can save this movie.
A group …
Planet of the Apes
I was watching the film Planet of the Apes on TV the other day and have to say, considering when the movie was made, it is still one of the better science fiction tales you will come across.
There are two reasons I feel this way. One is the make …

This movie falls in the genre of Adventure/Comedy/Family/Fantasy and stars Michael J. Fox as the voice of Stuart …
The Incredibles
The Incredibles is everything that has come to be expected from a Pixar animated movie and is great fun for the entire family. A new take on the story of a superhero and his super family was a welcome breather. While other movie studios have been and continue to …
Billie film
From 1965, Billie is a lighthearted family film about a tomboy’s transformation to a young girl. Along the way, the athletic teenager ends up on the high school track team, much to the chagrin of many.
Patty Duke stars as Billie. With her hair cut short and died …
Guest House Paradiso Movie
To crazy gentlemen owns a hotel, a place which could well rate as the worst in the whole world. Situated next to a nuclear reactor, only having five guests in total and a drunk cook.
Rather hysterical film with a high tempo. Unfortunately it uses a “style” of jokes and …
Globe Cinema
There is a “circuit” of cinemas all over Trinidad which go by the name of Globe and one of my favourite Globe Cinema is located in Chaguanas, the little city of Trinidad.
There are many things I like about this cinema. It is very easy to access by foot and …
Brown Sugar movie
Backwhen I was still in high school, the movie “Brown Sugar” seemed ot be a big thing amongst some of my peers. At the time I didn’t know what many people where talking about either since I neither heard about it nor saw it advertise. Poeple were even talking …
Children of Dune movie
Children of Dune was a 2003 SyFy channel made-for-tv release based on the books by Frank Herbert. Now I typically shy away from movies based on books and, more specifically, movies that are practically remakes from 1980’s classics, such as the original Dune, but I was shocked by the …
Solar Babies
If you’re looking for a movie to remind you about the worst parts of the 1980s, then you’ll want to rent the science fiction movie Solarbabies.
While the concept behind the movie is a good one, it’s set in the future and water is scarce; something that creates a world …
The Bank Job (2007 version)
Who ever said that the movie, “The Bank Job” directed by Estonian director, Brad Jurjens is a good movie, well he/she doesn’t know what they are talking about. This supposed to be dramatic movie has a good story, but the end result is really horrible due to the way …
